Sean Connery ?
William Wallace ?
Robert the Bruce ?

Wasn't it a Scotsman who invented the first Television ? He's pretty great!

If you swop Robert Burns with your first choice it would match mine. Oh and yes it was John Logie Baird.

I have been reliably informed that Scotlands Honours are alive and well after their long sleep and are a devolved matter.

No time-servers or run-of-the-mill-politicians, or theatricals, but simply outstanding everyday, talented folk.

One I'd like to nominate is Eric Bogle.
